The best way to keep a secret:- Tell everyone not to tell anyone.
Who are you to tell other people how they should educate their children. If Muslims believe that the best way to educate their own children is in a school which teaches their religion then that's up to them, not you.
Someone else coming to their school and giving children pamphlets, or books or whatever is not the same thing. "Up till now my posts have been of a general nature concerning the thread content." - Pish, you twisted it to suit your agenda, it's not the same thing at all.

Absolute twaddle. Read the thread from the beginning.The whole thing behind the issuing of pamphlets at the gates of US schools is because the teaching of religion is not allowed. Christians in the States are doing hand stands and somersaults trying to achieve the introduction of religion into the curriculum.
Who are they(Christians) to say how children should be educated. Introducing Creationism as means of introduction did not worked. The issuing of leaflets is just another ploy.

Not one word about Christianity, the USA, creationism, or anything else you prattled on about.Is it proper for adults without permission from the school or even have a child as a student in said school to stand outside school gates and hand out literature to unaccompanied children or should there be an exclusion zone?
In answering remember if one type of literature is allowed then all types are (within decency laws )
Just you twisting things to suit your agenda, again. Don't let the facts get in the way.
Read my first post in this thread , btw. I am totally opposed to anyone handing out pamphlets, about anything, outside of schools. I am also in favour of parents being able to chose a school which suits their choice, for their child.
If Jewish people want their child's school to also teach Judaism that's up to them. If Muslims want to stand outside that school handing out leaflets about Islam then they are in the wrong.

So what, the thread and poll is about "should adults be allowed to canvass children at the school gates?".
The thread starter indicated (when asked) that it was a particular incident which had caused him to consider the subject and bring it up. However the thread is about the generality of whether people should be allowed to canvas children is such a manner. You changed that to "religion should not be taught in schools", again. You even did the old classic and called it brainwashing.

You just said it. It is directly around the school.
On a slightly different note, there are precedents for different rules in school areas. They are called school zones.
Fines are much harsher for speeders and reckless drivers. Drug selling in those areas are dealt with in a harsher manner.
The difference is that those activities are already illegal. I say so what. I can't see the harm in extending the shield to include solicitors and propagandists.
If you look at the definition of brainwashing it would appear that I am correct.
brain·wash·ing (brān'wŏsh'ĭng, -wô'shĭng)
n.
- Intensive, forcible indoctrination, usually political or religious, aimed at destroying a person's basic convictions and attitudes and replacing them with an alternative set of fixed beliefs.
- The application of a concentrated means of persuasion, such as an advertising campaign or repeated suggestion, in order to develop a specific belief or motivation.

Good lord, I'm glad I didn't read most of the responses in this thread earlier.
How the hell did this turn into a thread about brainwashing?
